BARRY K. BONDA .... Edltor FRED TAKATA ... BU5. Mgr. y~ Editor's Desk AS AN ADDENDUM: to this week's "Column Left" for B fednal FEPC, Senator Goldwater (R., Ariz.) has introduced a' bill fc·r the administration to replace the President's Com• niittee on Government Contract with a Commission on Equal Job Opportunity under Government Contracts and give the llbn·discriminalion clause in government contracts a basis in statutory law . , . S-942's commission, like the President's Committee, WII! have no enforcement powers, reports would be made to the President and to contracting agencies, and tiie President would have ultimate power in enforcing the provisions of the bill. The President's Committee is an outgrowth of the Fair Employment Practices Commission established by President Roosevelt in 1941, which sought to eliminate discrimination .in hiring by firms holding government contracts. The FEP (:ommission expired in 1946 for lack of appropriations and ~esident Truman established his committee with having pretty much the same function. Under President Ei3enhower, the cbmmittee has expanded its operations with staff and field offices. John Yoshino, active JACLer, has been serving on t6e Washington staff for the past several years. AnoLher civil rights measure in Congress with personal -(:oncern to Nisei is S-960, authored by Sen. Dirksen (R., Ill.) and 10 other Republicans, which extends the life of the Com• mission on Civil Rights for two years until Sept. 9, 196!. Serving on advisory committees to the commission are Henry S\1yehir a of Idaho and Mas Satow of California ... There is also S. 499, introduced by Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D., Tex. )., which is extending the life of the commission to Jan. 31, 1961, as well as creating a Community Relations Service as a federal independent agency to assist communities whose attitudes are in conflict with U.S. laws, giving the Attorney General power to subpoena voting records and making it a iederal crime to transport explosives interstate with knowledge and intent to do violence any property used for business, educational, religious, charitable or civic objectives. Mention of these bills or the omission of other civil rights 1>411s is not to be construed as JACL or PC support or non• support but only to show civil rights measures have been introduced. J ACL announces support after careful study of 1he bill itself.
